Abstract
This article briefly describes (a) how ANPEPP was started and its first few years of activities, (b) the planning, implementation, evaluation, and recommendations by participants in the first symposium that led to future symposia format, and (c) ANPEPP's evolving activities from 1988 to 2014, taking one of its working groups (grupos de trabalho [GTs]) as an example. The analysis suggests that ANPEPP is playing a vital role in promoting fruitful interactions among researchers, contributing to a broad research agenda, and building a rich database of psychological knowledge in Brazil.
